In Episode 147<\/a>\u00a0we picked a bunch of new shows to watch and review.\u00a0 The first of these shows was The Ringer.<\/p>\n

It stars Sarah Michelle Gellar who plays twin sisters.\u00a0 One is supposedly bad and the other is good.\u00a0 The only way you can tell the difference (since it’s the same person) is one has\u00a0her hair up and one has her hair down.\u00a0 But within the first 20 minutes of the show the “good” one supposedly falls off a boat and the bad one takes her identity.\u00a0 The boat scene was the lowest budget green screen I’ve ever seen.\u00a0 It made SNL look like Avatar.\u00a0 They couldn’t find an ocean to film this scene?\u00a0 Here’s a hint, keep going east or west and you’ll hit one eventually.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the bad sister decides to become the good sister.\u00a0 She ran away from the cops and she’s a witness in a crime, so people are after her.\u00a0 She forgets a few appointments but is able to find and show up to work, fool her husband (who she has a weird, non-sexual relationship with apparantly, there’s a weird scene where she’s in bed and he walks in, sees her, and makes a face and leaves), and fit in in social situations with her friends.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s revealed the good sister is not so good, as she has been having an affair and she gets a call from the doctor that she’s pregnant with him.\u00a0 She tells this to the guy she’s having an affair with while her husband is there (you know, the one she’s not sleeping with) and the guy gets mad and walks away.\u00a0 Her husband apparantly find nothing weird about this at all.<\/p>\n

All the dialoge is very slow and boring.\u00a0 There’s a few more scenes where nothing interesting happens.\u00a0 A scene where she meets with a cop who is looking for her (but thinks she’s the good sister).\u00a0 A funny conversation where she says she hasn’t seen her in years, but then says she’d never do something like that, I should know.<\/p>\n

Near the end she gets\u00a0a message to show up at work at night where she hides a gun.\u00a0 A killer shows up and they have a fight.\u00a0 The killer pushes her through a wall and someone he gets knocked out.\u00a0 They land conveniently near the gun where SMG shoots the killer.\u00a0 The final scene is of the good sister in France getting a call that the hit was unsuccessful.\u00a0 DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNN.<\/p>\n

Final thoughts:\u00a0 This show is terrible.\u00a0 Half the time\u00a0I couldn’t tell which twin it was supposed to be and the other half I didn’t care.\u00a0 The bad special effects, dialogue and plot make this a poo poo platter of…well…. We’re not going to be watching episode 2.\u00a0 1 show down, 16 to go.\u00a0<\/p>\n
